Safety and efficacy of oral irrigators for special populations such as children, pregnant women, elderly, and patients with oral diseases have become key research focuses. For children, devices with simple operation and low pressure are necessary to prevent gum injuries caused by misuse. Designs should also consider children’s hand sizes and include engaging elements to improve compliance.
Pregnant women are prone to gingival inflammation due to hormonal changes and are advised to use irrigators with gentle pressure and delicate nozzles to prevent bleeding and infections, ensuring maternal and fetal health. Usage should be guided by professional dentists to ensure safety.
The elderly face unique oral environments characterized by gum recession, tooth mobility, and dry mouth. Oral irrigators with multi-level pressure adjustments and massage modes can improve local blood circulation, promote gum healing, maintain oral moisture, reduce periodontal disease risk, and enhance quality of life.
Patients with periodontitis and gingivitis can use oral irrigators as adjunctive therapies to reduce inflammation and plaque buildup, complementing medical treatments. Research is ongoing to develop specialized jet modes and pressure parameters tailored to specific conditions, enhancing therapeutic precision and safety.
In the future, personalized oral care plans combining clinical data, user feedback, and intelligent adjustment features will offer customized solutions for special populations, facilitating comprehensive oral health management throughout life.
